That does not mean millions of other people around the world have to agree with you despite your confident assurance of infallibility. Marriages were once mere legal contracts between families meant to create binding ties, carry on blood lines, divide property, get rid of the burden of providing for daughters, etc. In addition, they traditionally did not involve consent from the actual participants (or at least the women/minor girls) in the union. they were frequently devoid of romantic attachment and were not limited to two people. An ancient marriage would bear little resemblance to a &quot;traditional&quot; one today. Definitions change, expand, narrow and are entirely rewritten by the times. </p>say what commented on 'Jon Stewart Mocks CNN's Coverage of The Queen's Jubilee: VIDEO'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d8341c730253ef01676718d1ce970b2012-06-05T18:22:06Z2012-06-05T18:22:06Zsay whatJames C thousands of years of human history state jubilees are 50 years apart and all debtors debts are forgiven...<p>James C</p>
<p>thousands of years of human history state jubilees are 50 years apart and all debtors debts are forgiven and slaves set free</p>
<p>It is possibly even older if the Jews took it from egyptian tradition and gave it a Jewish flavor</p>
<p>at least it is thousands of years old and an early jewish tradition</p>
<p>every 50 years and forgive the debts of debtors</p>
<p>anything else is not a jubilee</p>Gregv commented on 'Jon Stewart Mocks CNN's Coverage of The Queen's Jubilee: VIDEO'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d8341c730253ef016306254ae6970d2012-06-05T18:17:42Z2012-06-05T18:17:42ZGregv@Ratbastard: I don't know if it's true that Canadians love her more than prople of the UK.

But if it is, my guess would be that it could have something to do with the fact that her palace, staff and royal jewels are paid by the UK taxpayer. In Canada, she&#39;s a symbol of historic ties to a now-friendly founding country, and since she has no actual political power or cost to Canadians, there&#39;s nothing much to resent about her.</p>James C commented on 'Jon Stewart Mocks CNN's Coverage of The Queen's Jubilee: VIDEO'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d8341c730253ef016306249e38970d2012-06-05T16:04:42Z2012-06-05T16:04:42ZJames CA jubilee is not limited to a celebration marking 50 years doing any one thing.

The first milestone traditionally labeled a jubilee is 25 years (silver), then 50 (golden), then 60 (diamond), then 70 (platinum). Given the queen&#39;s remarkable longevity, good health and sturdiness (as well as the fact that her mother lived to be nearly 102) It would not be a surprise if she did end up celebrating a platinum jubilee. The king of Thailand has been on his throne for 65 years and is actually two years younger than the queen. So such milestones are very possible.</p>ratbastard commented on 'Jon Stewart Mocks CNN's Coverage of The Queen's Jubilee: VIDEO'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d8341c730253ef01630624647e970d2012-06-05T15:21:45Z2012-06-05T15:21:45ZratbastardI think Canadians 'love' the queen more than the English or certainly the Scottish.

<p>Nothing personal against the nice old lady, but the concept of a monarch who is the HEREDITARY head of state and considered superior to &#39;commoners&#39; is beyond ridiculous. We did the right thing by kicking them out 235 years ago.</p>say what commented on 'Jon Stewart Mocks CNN's Coverage of The Queen's Jubilee: VIDEO'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d8341c730253ef0163062457a1970d2012-06-05T15:12:46Z2012-06-05T15:12:46Zsay whata jubilee is every 50 years which they did celebrate 10 years ago this is the 60th anniversary and they...<p>a jubilee is every 50 years which they did celebrate 10 years ago</p>
<p>this is the 60th anniversary and they need to stop calling it a jubilee</p>
<p>also with jubilees they are supposed to forgive all debtors their debts otherwise it isnt a jubilee at all but rather just an advertisement / propaganda campaign </p>David Ehrenstein commented on 'Jon Stewart Mocks CNN's Coverage of The Queen's Jubilee: VIDEO'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d8341c730253ef016306244e97970d2012-06-05T15:05:45Z2012-06-05T15:05:45ZDavid Ehrensteinhttp://www.ehrensteinland.comDon Lemon was particularly derisive about this entire thing.<p>Don Lemon was particularly derisive about this entire thing. </p>Strepsi commented on 'Jon Stewart Mocks CNN's Coverage of The Queen's Jubilee: VIDEO'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d8341c730253ef016306242787970d2012-06-05T14:38:35Z2012-06-05T14:38:35ZStrepsiI absolutely love Queen Elizabeth II.

She has always taken so seriously the sense that she serves her country, and has put her duty to us (I am Canadian) before herself for 60 years -- elected politicians look crass, callow and short-sighted by comparison. She is amazing.</p>anon commented on 'Jon Stewart Mocks CNN's Coverage of The Queen's Jubilee: VIDEO'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d8341c730253ef0168ec193cf8970c2012-06-05T14:33:19Z2012-06-05T14:33:19ZanonA run-up to the Olympics!<p>A run-up to the Olympics!</p>Paul commented on 'Jon Stewart Mocks CNN's Coverage of The Queen's Jubilee: VIDEO'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d8341c730253ef0168ec18dfdd970c2012-06-05T13:30:47Z2012-06-05T13:30:47ZPaulFreakin hilarious!!
